I did Fedora 16 Respin iso install with all latest packages, including latest Anaconda package, and still had this issue. There were two ntfs partitions (Windows 7 + data partition) and 30 GB of free space. From 30GB free space I created /root # 200 MB, ext4 /swap # 2.5 GB, swap / # 8.0 GB, ext4 /home # 19 GB, btrfs grub2 install fails miserably :( Are there any updates regarding this bug? -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
